Get Ready for Gaga

The most hotly anticipated new single of the year arrives tomorrow as Lady Gaga finally releases "Born This Way," the first single from her upcoming second album (third if you count Fame Monster as an album, which I think is reasonable).

The track will be made available at radio tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. EST and then go on sale at iTunes at 9 a.m. Not sure what the plans are for other countries, but I can't imagine they'll want to withhold it.

Although it will have missed 3 days of sales, I think it's a safe bet that "Born This Way" will sell bucket loads and likely top the Hot 100 next week as the 1000th #1 hit. She couldn't have timed it better.
